I was contacted by our local museum to see if i would be interested in this corn. Its new to me, I had the room, so I have a new addition.
If I had known the body shot was going to be so dark, I would have taken another. I will get a better one.

They were out at a local event (not sure of the event) where they had a booth set up, and someone donated it to them. The museum has had it for a couple of years.

Pretty regular type of thing to happen. Schools of all sorts, museums of nature/natural history, etc., they all get dumped on with stuff like this. I've seen it more often than I care to think about

Oh yeah, it looks like a Milk Snake to me also.

No it's not a eastern milk, it's a Texas corn snake. Here's a video a friend of mine did on one.
